Apr 30 Meet the Staff: Dr. McVey

For the third installment of the "Meet the Staff" series, we interview Dr. McVey.

1) How long have you been working as a dentist?

I graduated from dental school at Oral Roberts University in 1983. So that means I've been working as a dentist for 34 years...and I still love it!

2) What inspired you to pursue your career?

Well, when I was a kid I thought the dentist had the best toys. Still kind of feel that way. In college, I wanted a caring career that was people focused and that would allow time for family. The more I explored possible careers, the more dentistry seemed like the best fit.

3) What is your favorite part about your job?

The people! I love that I see my patients on a regular basis and get to know them and their families. I love working with awesome staff members that care about our patients and make coming to work a pleasure. I love the opportunity to have a very positive impact on a patient's life whether it's more self-confidence or comfort or improved overall health.

4) What are some of your hobbies?

I enjoy singing, playing guitar and piano, and riding my motorcycle. I love spending time with my family and friends. In fact, the sweetest thing in life is being a Papi--that's what my grandkids call me!
